The Greens' Customs and Excise (Sustainable Timber) Amendment Bill – a Bill that will require all wood coming into New Zealand to be certified legal and sustainable. For more information please visit www.greens.org.nz/rainforests

If successful, this Bill will also improve the lives of indigenous peoples such as those in West Papua , whose livelihoods depend on the rainforest.
